Live Through

Vash! Wake up, quick! Oh, Vash Rem W-What have I done? Thank you for all of your help.
He might not have made it otherwise.
Think nothing of it.
If you need anything else, just ask.
I will, thank you.
Oh! You're awake! That's a relief.
I'll fix you some soup right away! Where are we? It's a small village about 200 iles from LR.
The villagers lent us this house so we could care for your wounds.
Do you remember? You've been asleep for 10 days straight since we got here.
Here, drink this.
You need nourishment.
I I remember, I Oh, I almost forgot! I need to be somewhere! I'd better hurry.
Finish all of your soup, okay? Mr.
Vash Miss Meryl? Miss Meryl? How is your friend doing? Much better, thank you.
He's regained consciousness.
I think he should be up and about soon.
That's wonderful! I'm happy to hear that.
Sorry about that!! Mr.
Vash is awake?! That's wonderful! Yes.
That's great! That reminds me, ma'am! Here are today's earnings.
I'm sorry about making you do all this.
Don't worry about me! I always worked the fields at home and besides, if I keep busy, I don't have to think about stuff.
T-That reminds me.
How is the well? By the schedule, we should reach the water vein in one week.
All right, let's splurge on dinner tonight! Do you mean it?! Come again! This place kind of reminds me of my home town.
Was your home like this? That's right! It's a quiet, plain little village.
But it was really great because my family was there.
Family Ma'am? It's him.
Just past there.
Knives is just past there, but After so long, I'm so close to finding him, but Answer me one thing! What do you intend to do once you see Knives? He stole someone I loved from me.
Do you want revenge? I don't know.
I don't know! I see.
So that's how you live.
That's how you chose to live.
Wolfwood what should I do when I see Knives? I killed a man with my own hand.
What can I possibly say to him? I'm no different.
Rem Rem I'm sorry, Rem I went wrong I made a mistake Mr.
Vash? What are you doing up here? Your wounds haven't closed yet.
Mr.
Vash! You shouldn't strain yourself! I have to go Go? Where, in your condition?! Rem I have to go to Rem.
What are you saying? I'm going to where Rem is.
I'm going to Snap out of it! Mr.
Vash! Let me go! I'm I can never go back.
I killed a man.
I took someone's life! But there was no other Don't tell me there was no other way.
There had to be a way to save everyone.
Even Rem said so.
There had to be a way.
Rem, tell me.
Did I? Mr.
Vash! Mr.
Vash!! We shouldn't have followed him after all.
Huh?! If only I hadn't followed him, it might have turned out differently.
Then, he he wouldn't have had to suffer like this! You're wrong!! You wanted to be with him, didn't you? What's wrong with acting with your heart? My big sister told me that I should never hold back.
Milly Maybe I should call you "ma'am.
" It It's nothing! Milly, prepare to work your butt off tomorrow, too! Yes, ma'am! Ow.
Mr.
Vash, mind the house while we're gone.
Right.
See you later! Mr.
Vash looks a little happier now, don't you think? That's true.
Hey there! You're late.
You don't know how lucky you are.
You guys probably don't know this but a lot of weird shit has been going on in this area.
Did something happen? There have been mass disappearances in 12 towns, and LR is a war zone.
My family disappeared with them.
I had no idea This is about the only peaceful town left.
- There you go.
- Th-Thanks.
I haven't seen him before.
Oh, yeah.
About 10 days ago he was brought here by a pair of girls.
He was in horrible shape, full of holes like Swiss cheese.
That blond guy looks familiar Come on, let's get out of here!! Why all the shouting, man? Just get in!! Why the hurry?! Th-That was V-Vash the Stampede! What?! I'm sure of it! The blond sitting there is the Humanoid Typhoon! So on the first evening a pebble from somewhere drops upon the world.
So on the second evening the children of the pebble join hands and compose a waltz.
That's a nice song.
Yeah.
You can You can stay here permanently if you like.
That sounds good.
That might not be so bad.
I'm sorry I'm late! I was up too late Ma'am!! Ma'am I'll kill him! I'll kill that bastard!! You really had us fooled! Wh-What are you talking about? Don't play dumb with us!!! You brought THE Vash the Stampede into our town!! Please, calm down! Listen, we don't want to die.
Please leave immediately.
If you do, we'll let you live.
Though we can't say as much for the guy! Enough! What do you mean? Don't tell me Mr.
Vash!! Well?! Did you feel some of their pain?! The pain of those who died because of you?! Why don't you say anything in your defense?! Make some kind of an excuse!! Hey do you think maybe it's not him? Yeah.
Vash would never be such a wimp.
I I am Vash the Stampede.
You're right about me.
I'm a I'm nothing but a killer.
Shameless bastard!!! You're going to pay for everyone who lived in this town!!! Smile.
I'll at least let you die like a man! Smile, you shit!! I said, smile! Stop it!! Please!!! This man fought to protect everyone! It's the truth! Please believe me!! That's not funny!! Ma'am! Could a normal human being do all those things?! It has to be his doing!! You're wrong!! Then, why why did Stefan die so horribly?! Answer me! Answer me! I've I have watched him for a long time.
It's true that this man can't avoid fighting.
But this man knows how to live as a human being.
Don't feed me your garbage!! We have a right to shoot this monster! We lost our friends, families, and neighbors!! We have a right to hate him!!! No one has the right to take the life of another.
No one has the right to take the life of another! Everyone has a future.
Rem Isn't that right? Stay back! I said, stay back!! Stop.
Stop the fighting.
Why?! Why are you doing this?! If we don't stop the hate and sorrow sometime we will never make any progress.
We weren't born to steal, were we? How could you two be so reckless? You're the last one who should criticize.
It's exactly what you've always done.
I'm sure it's I'm sure it's what he would have done, too.
That's it.
That must be it! Hey, w-wait! What are you doing?! People have many different ways of thinking.
Even if you make a mistake if you realize it was a mistake, it's always possible to fix it! Then if you turn around, you will see the future! This wisdom must be realized for oneself.
Rem H-Hey, how long are you going to do that?! Damn, I'm moved to bits!! Let go of me! Let go of me, you big ape! Hey, I'm injured, remember? The red flower Rem loved the geranium.
in the language of flowers, means determination.
I made it.
This one's yours.
So, you're going? Yeah.
I'll be all right now.
See you later.
Uh-huh.
Thanks.
- I - Mr.
Vash!! - Hey, that's - Take this with you! I think it would make Mr.
Wolfwood happy! Are you sure? Sure! Th-This is pretty heavy.
Of course! That's because it's so full of mercy! Well, I'm off! I couldn't I couldn't say anything.
So tell him when he gets back! Say everything! Vash, take care of Knives.
I finally understand.
I finally understand the last thing she tried to tell me.
I will never go wrong again.
Humans are survivors.
So, I will take care of him.
I will save Knives.
One day, 130 years ago you and I were born.
There were nothing but peaceful days, and Rem was always close behind us.
But our disagreeing thoughts changed our ways of life.
I don't regret it.
I will vow once again not to kill, not to betray to find happiness, to talk about my dreams because the ticket to the future is always unwritten.
